    Therein lies the problem. Most people these days, especially long range shooters, wouldn’t be arsed going to the trouble of recovering tokens/tails for say two rounds of ammo. Not enough motivation, me included at times. Private properties I shoot, take me at my word what I shoot. Nearly everything is gps marked though. DOC is the same although they occasionally ask for tails to be taken. Chopper shooting, the pilot’s there to verify kills. I guess tails would be the only reliable record for a bounty system if it ever came to pass for ground based hunting.

    I am led to believe the shooters wear GoPro headsets or similar as a means of counting / verifying. It's an effective method.

    Some may, others don’t. Friggen helmet can be bad enough for upsetting sight acquisition.
